komunistycznego

Komunistycznego is a form of the Polish adjective komunistyczny, meaning “communist” or “pertaining to communism.” It is used to describe a noun and agrees with that noun in gender, number, and case. The form komunistycznego specifically is the genitive singular form, used when the modified noun is in the genitive case, or in phrases where the noun is in a related oblique position. Common examples include państwa komunistycznego (“of a communist state”), systemu komunistycznego (“of the communist system”), ruchu komunistycznego (“of the communist movement”). In standard word order, adjectives generally precede the noun, but in genitive phrases the noun often comes first, as in opis komunistycznego systemu (“a description of the communist system”).

The base adjective is komunistyczny (masculine personal); feminine form is komunistyczna and neuter form is komunistyczne. The genitive singular forms are komunistycznego for masculine personal and neuter, and komunistycznej for feminine. The form komunistycznego therefore appears in contexts requiring genitive singular, and it is part of regular Polish adjective declension.

Etymology: the word is formed from the noun komunizm (communism) with the adjectival suffix -iczny, a common construction in Slavic languages to indicate “belonging to or related to.”

Usage notes: komunistycznego is typically encountered in historical, political, or descriptive texts when referring to things associated with communism. It is not a noun itself; the corresponding noun for a person is komunista (a communist).
